Personal Injury Attorney for Semi Truck Accidents
Semi trucks are an important part of our economy. They transport raw materials and consumer goods to and from businesses. If you look around your home or office, many of the products and materials inside were likely hauled by semi trucks at some point.
No matter how important these trucks are to the economy, however, there is no doubt that they can also be dangerous. Each year, semi truck accidents cost lives and cause serious injuries to passenger car drivers and other users of the roads in Missouri and Kansas.
If you have been injured in a truck accident, contact a semi-truck accident injury lawyer at the Pittsburg, KS, Coffeyville, KS, Kansas City, KS or Joplin, MO offices of Phalen Law Firm. Our attorneys speak both English and Spanish and have years of experience handling truck accident cases.

We fight aggressively for your rights so you can focus on healing from your injuries.

Fighting for Your Rights After a Trucking Accident
Being involved in a trucking accident is frightening, especially if you’re driving a passenger car. These smaller vehicles don’t have much of a chance against a fully-loaded semi truck, which can weigh tens of thousands of pounds.
What can be even more frustrating is how difficult it can be to secure compensation for all of your injuries and damages after a trucking accident. These types of accidents are likely to involve devastating injuries. Your car may be completely totaled, requiring you to replace your vehicle and everything inside of it. Physical injuries may be extensive and may require you to lose months or even years of work. If you’re permanently injured, you may not be able to return to your job, yet you’ll still have to pay your bills and replace your income somehow.
Truck accidents also likely result in serious injuries, meaning months or years of pain as well as complicated medical treatments, surgeries, rehabilitation and other care. Replacing your car and property, paying your bills and paying for medical care can all be expensive. Yet, dealing with truck insurance companies or your own car insurance company after your accident can be frustrating. You may be offered insurance money but may not be sure whether this money will cover your needs. Or, you may face delays or other problems with insurers.
If you’re injured after a truck accident and need a truck accident injury lawyer, Phalen Law Firm can help. We have three convenient locations in Kansas and one in Missouri, so you can find the office that’s closest to you.
Our attorneys have access to car accident reconstruction software technology, meaning we can determine exactly what happened in the seconds before and during a truck accident. If the driver was driving erratically or doing something illegal at the time of the accident, we can work to uncover this and to pursue your rights to fair compensation. You don’t have to go it alone. Contact us for a free consultation today.
